Under the curious and expectant eyes of the whole family, Lin Yujuan finally knitted her first gloves in the afternoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info small gloves are not big, snow-white, and they are quite elastic when you stretch them out by hand. When it was put on Brother Lin's hand, it was tightly wrapped and would not fall off easily. The point is that such a small little glove has all five fingers. If you make such a small glove out of cotton cloth and cotton, it will definitely not be easy to use to make five fingers.

"How? I thought about it, so I knitted the gloves. Just knit half of your fingers, so you can do a lot of things with your fingers. Knitting clothes is too time-consuming, and the warmth is still not as good as that of padded jackets. In winter, many people still need these gloves. For example, Mom, you wear gloves to do needlework, and you can pinch the needle with your fingers? Bringing this to do delicate work will not be affected. As he spoke, he gestured on the little glove, "Mom, I'll knit a pair for you, and you'll know if you use it." ”

Lin Yujuan thought about it, many people in this family need it, and grandma has to send two pairs. Why does this feel so stressful all of a sudden? "Mom, it's just that this white color is too intolerant of dirt. Do we have any dyed ones on our streets? Black will do. ”

"There is a shop on the east side of the street that sells cloth, and it is also dyed. There aren't many colors, so you're going to ask tomorrow? It may take a few days to dye it. "Qi is not very clear.

"Then the most important thing now is that you have to twist the cotton thread first? Then the thread is dyed to weave gloves. It's too slow for us to twist the thread ourselves, and the cotton you buy is made into cotton jackets, so you have to buy cotton. Lin Yujuan said

"Hehe, little sister, have you forgotten? Our uncle's family planted two acres of cotton. There must be some unsold at home. You go and ask? Lin Xiujuan reminded her sister.

"yes, I didn't think of that. But the eldest aunt looked so scared, and her face was tense all day long. Sister, come with me, and leave now. Lin Xiujuan didn't want to go to her uncle's house alone, which was so depressing in the family atmosphere. After speaking, he took the cotton thread ball, dragged Lin Xiujuan and went out.

The uncle's house is not far south of Lin Yujuan's house, and it takes a few steps to get there. The courtyard door is open, and as soon as I walked in, I saw Lin Sujuan, the lobby sister, sitting at the door with the soles of her shoes. The second cousin Tie Juan was picking vegetables, but she didn't see the uncle and aunt. I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister, you nail the soles of your shoes. Uncle and aunt are not at home? It was Lin Xiujuan who spoke.

"It's Xiujuan and Yujuan, come and talk to me. My mom and dad went to the fields. Why do you have time to play today, I usually see that you two sisters are quite busy. The lobby sister said with a smile on her face, and she didn't forget to prick two more stitches in her hand.

"The two of them, they're busy making money." Second cousin Lin Tiejuan also spoke, and I don't know if it was envy or something else in those words. Lin Yujuan didn't have time to care about a little girl's tone or anything, so let's hurry up and go home. I'm waiting for pickled cabbage today.

"Big sister, look at my cotton thread ball." Saying that, Lin Yujuan handed the thread ball in her hand to the lobby sister.

"Well, what's wrong. How do you twist cotton thread so thickly? Lin Sujuan was also confused.

"Eldest sister, do you still have cotton at home? I want cotton thread like this, and you can twist it for me. For a pound of cotton, we pay five cents for processing fees. Cotton is also bought for yours. Lin Yujuan said her intention directly.

"Yes, your mom knows?" Lin Sujuan was afraid that a little girl would not be able to call the shots, and in the end, she would not be busy for half a day, and it would not be good to complain about her second aunt.

"Eldest sister, Mom knows. She let the two of us come over. This time it was Lin Xiujuan who spoke, and she proved that Lin Yujuan did not talk nonsense.

"Although I don't know what the use of you asking for it, big sister, since you want to buy it, I agreed. How many pounds of thread do you want? Although Lin Sujuan was curious, she didn't continue to ask.

"Five pounds, eldest sister, how many days can you get it right?" Lin Yujuan was very anxious.

"It should be fine in three days, and I'll send it to your house when it's twisted." Lin Sujuan thinks about the three women in her family, three days is enough.

"Okay, then thank you first, big sister. We went home first, and there was still something going on at home. Lin Xiujuan is also in a hurry to go home. Lin Sujuan didn't keep them, they were all country children, even if they weren't busy farming now. As long as you want to work, there is always endless work waiting for you.

As soon as the sisters arrived home, they began to busy pickling sauerkraut. I scooped up the rice first, and kept the rice for dinner. The rice washing water should be boiled to make sauerkraut. The rice washing water was not enough, so Lin Yujuan grabbed a small handful of rice into the water. After boiling, pour it out and let it cool. Finally, with the help of Qi's family, he quickly put all the dried vegetables into the jar. A few bricks that have been washed and dried are also pressed on top.

On the afternoon of the third day, Lin Sujuan came over with Lin Tiejuan carrying the twisted cotton thread. I really can't see it, but it's a lot of five-pound wire. Lin Yujuan's two sisters took it, and when they received the room, they immediately counted the money and gave it to the lobby sister. The silver and goods were clear, and the lobby sister was not polite when she saw it, so she took the money and said hello and took Lin Tiejuan home.

Brother Lin looked at the empty money box, "Second sister, the money hasn't been pulled, you can't lose money." ”

"Don't worry, maybe you won't make much, but you won't lose money. If you can't sell it, you will knit clothes for everyone. "But I don't have any money to dye, so I want it from my mother? Think about Mom's mother's dead pick or forget it. Just tell Dad on the boat tomorrow morning. Looking at the big cotton balls, she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for others to dye them. learned what I saw in my previous life, and beckoned my sister to wrap the threads into big coils again.

The next morning, I set off before dawn. The father and daughter delivered kimchi one by one, and then told each shopkeeper that today was the last day to deliver it, and there was anything that needed to be purchased. In the end, only four were decided, one was only one pound a day, then two were two pounds, and one was two and a half pounds a day. Half a catty is not easy to calculate, and in the end it is six taels. We have agreed with all stores to settle the bill at the end of the month. Lin Yujuan couldn't help but be a little frustrated. Lin Guilu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his daughter kept babbling in her mouth, "Why did you sell so much?"

"Yujuan, these four families add up to three catties and six taels. If you sell it for a pound and five cents, you will have eighteen cents a day. In addition to the cost, there are more than ten yuan a day. Although Dad can earn more than 20 yuan a day, he has to work hard to pick bricks for a whole day. It's not a job to do every day. It's easy for you, just make it at home and send it over every morning. I don't delay doing anything else. Lin Guilu's mouth inadvertently revealed a trace of envy. also made Lin Yujuan understand how hard it is to often pick bricks and work hard.

After Lin Guilu's comparison, Lin Yujuan's mood was much better than just now. cleaned up his mood and told Lin Guilu about dyeing. So Lin Guilu accompanied his daughter back to the boat and took the cotton thread to find the dyed cloth shop. Since she didn't know which one it was, Lin Yujuan went in and asked when she saw the cloth shop at the east end of the street. The result is not, but the store is not stingy, although it does not consume in its own store, but still tells Lin Yujuan which cloth shop is dyeing on behalf of customers.

"Boss you are so nice, thank you pull! If you want to buy cloth in the future, you still have to come to your house. Lin Yujuan sent a good person card to the boss.

"Hey, the little girl has a good feeling. You have to remember, our family is called Hang Ji Buxing. It's at this fork in the road, remember! The shopkeeper smiled and didn't think the little girl was joking. Lin Yujuan listened to it and decided to come to his house if she needed it in the future. At the same time, I also think that this boss is really powerful. You'll have to learn a little bit on your own. If it is convenient for others, he himself will benefit in the future.

Under the guidance of the boss of Hang Ji, this time I quickly found this shop called Xuejiabuzhuang. After entering, Lin Yujuan directly said that she wanted to dye it, and the person who received them was a shop guy, and a middle-aged man didn't know if it was the shopkeeper or the boss, and he invited the guests to buy cloth.

"We can dye red, black, navy blue, earthy yellow here, what color do you want to dye?" The shopkeeper introduced and pointed to a few pieces of cloth. "But when you actually dye it, it may be a little different from the color of these cloths. A little darker or lighter, the color may not be exactly the same as this. ”

"Okay, just dye me red, black, and navy blue." After speaking, he motioned to Lin Guilu to put the big burden on the counter. When Lin Guilu untied the burden and took out the cotton thread, the shopkeeper was obviously flustered. The middle-aged man also came this way. When he saw such a thick line, he didn't say anything, but just told the guy to put it away. "It's twenty dollars in total, and you'll pay it in seven or eight days when you come over to get something." After saying that, he continued to sell cloth. Here, the guy put away the cotton thread, and asked Lin Yujuan how many threads were dyed red and how many threads were dyed black. "Average, three thirds." Lin Yujuan really didn't think too much about this, and she didn't know what the effect of dyeing the thread was.

The next few days were days of waiting. Waiting for the cotton thread to be dyed and colored, waiting for the sauerkraut to ferment. In the middle, Lin Guilu also brought back some good news, and two more families also ordered kimchi. Although each family only has an order volume of one or two catties, it is also very happy to see that the sales can increase a little. Because people have to deliver every day. Lin Yujuan also got a ledger to keep accounts, otherwise how would she collect the accounts at the end of the month. Write down the requirements every day and pack them into the jar as needed the next morning. Then each shopkeeper has to sign his own page of the ledger, or put his fingerprint on it. If there is a change in the owner's demand, he writes it directly in the ledger. Lin Guilu brought it home, and several children in the family understood it at a glance. During this waiting period, Lin Yujuan did not forget to ask Mr. Lin to make her two more pairs of stick needles, one short and the other longer one can also knit sweaters in the future.
